Farrell had no real choice but to take this one with full attention.  What followed was the strangest tale he had ever heard; A great thunderclap above Temple Row? Then what... a full group of ne'er-do-wells fall from the sky!  It wasn't a long fall, otherwise why would they bother him as he was preparing to go to the station? Being one of the priests not bond to celibacy by his god, Farrell was happy with his downtime, especially with Marietta... that elf girl at the Crow's Wing...FOCUS! Its an odd case... but they are in the city.  If you need to bring them in you will, but for now there is nothing they have done... so let them be: but all eyes open for them.  Aye... he should have sat down... and now he needed a drink.A short man walked into the office, dressed in a most peculiar fashion to be coming in freely.  This was a White Rose member.... thieves coming into the house of the Law and not even in manacles! Something will be done when Farrell reports this to the Underguardian!It was nothing... a standard bribe, and maybe Farrell took it... even clergy need hard coin in this city.  He took a swig from a bottle of wine left to him by the prior Captain, and sat thinking of what he could do to track these people down... they could be dangerous to the people, and so he would send out a few Detectives and call on the reserves who bunk in the whorehouse district in Farwall... they were acolytes and laity, but he needed every man he could get on the streets.  He doubted the Empress would use her own guards... the Favor were to be used as that last resort.  What he would give to have Kievt Elverishi in the Knights... but, alas, it is not their duty.  The Four Courts would be patrolled, of course... Farwall and Inwall heavily alongside.  There were few places to hide in Four Courts, with the Southern and Northern Courts being full of middle-class sailors and well-to-do traders... few would risk their permits to turn a profit on these sorry souls.  Inwall was safer; Clergy and the occasional new aristocrat would turn these ruffians in faster than the drop of the hat...  the Dry Yards may have work for them, but Farwall was the safest bet... the highest points, the seediest neighborhoods.  He hoped they liked sitting in the flophouses and pit arenas of Farwall until they were found... because it was giving him anxiety.  That healer had told him to not worry, it would put fire in his belly... he was no Flamebeast! But even now he felt the pain of it, and took a swig of liquor again.... yes, so much work to do.. so much work.</blockquote>
